Blessed with the lush glow of the sun and fertile land on the Southwestern Korean peninsula, Gwangju is home to Korea‘s exceptional traditional art, culinary culture, and dynamic progression into the modern world. This is the embodiment of the essence of Light — traversing the boundaries between harmony and chaos, conquest and challenge, nature and man, mystery and mastery, and the future and the past.

The subthemes lay out the paradoxical yet all-embracing nature of light in nature, science, and art with which Lux Aeterna challenges all participants.
